A digital means of connecting those offering friendship with those needing it.

Currently working in Greater London.

We are a London-based introductory service connecting residents to newcomers in the city. Befrienders are matched with and then introduced to a refugee or asylum seeker in their part of town. They commit to being a London host once or twice a fortnight for a minimum of 3 months.

London is a much friendlier place with a Londoner by your side.

If you like what we’re trying to do, but are not in London or don’t have the time to befriend, then please consider a one-off or recurring donation.

For a fairly comprehensive list of organisations that provide refugee support - advice, casework, housing, legal, social, drop-in centres - use our links and help befriendees find the support in the capital that they need.
